A toast is in order!
This is day seven of a series I’m doing that features a month of outfits. Read my intro here, find out about the Challenge here, and Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 ,and Day 6.
Today is Day 7, which means one week down, three to go, and so far so good. Thank-you so much for reading, I raise my cup of DD coffee to you. Huzzah!
As you can see we are back to homebase and to my beloved deck (which BTW my Dad, Brother Ted, and Andrew made, impressive, no?!) It feels good to be home and back into my own bed, though ironically the bed we slept in at my parent’s house WAS my own bed back in the day, a.k.a the infamous wrought iron one that gave me the butterfly shaped scar over my right eye on my forehead when I ran into it when I was about 6 (which may be another reason why I’m so glad to be back to my current one!).
After all the excitement over the past few days, I’ve been trying to keep things low-key around here, but I feel like I’m failing miserably. It doesn’t help that my MacBook is driving me crazy today. Just because it’s old doesn’t give it the right to have its charger crap out on me! So. frustrating.
Luckily, Andrew took pity on me and came home to share his perfect and newer charger with me. He’s a good egg, I tell ya! So since my computer is back in commission, on to the OOTD pics:

Pretty cute huh?! I really like this outfit today, and almost wish I had somewhere to go to other than the laundry room. In Lucky’s outfit today the scarf was tied around in the back, but it didn’t work with my vest so I tied it around the front instead. I think it looks much cuter this way, if I do say so myself.
I tied a bow around myself because I'm good enough, smart enough, and darn it, people like me!
I bought this dress at Forever XXI a few months back, and I think it is awesome. It is a fun length, really taps into the Ethnic/tribal trend that is so in right now, AND has pockets, all for $12 bones- what a bargain! My only complaint is that it is a little loose in the front and is therefore showing more than church appropriate cleavage. Funny, I don’t remember it being quite this way, and I’m wondering if Calliope cutting back on feedings has had anything to do with how this is fitting now (Mommies in the know, any thoughts?). Not a big deal for me, but maybe for some.
The BOTD, 'Lucky' me!
I also have to comment on the bag. It is Lucky, oh my my!
It was my Mom’s, she bought it, and then decided that turquoise suede wasn’t for her (She can correct me if I’m wrong, but I do believe she bought another one in turquoise leather later, ha!), and just recently gave it to me to sell on Ebay. Normally, suede and turquoise aren’t my thing either, but I have to say I’m kind of enjoying it. It has the perfect amount of L.A./casual beach chic to satiate me, and I don’t have anything like it. I might eventually get around to selling it…might.
Another thing: although they look super cute here, I am already starting to get espadrille fatigue, which means it is gonna be a long 30 days for a shoe lover like me. What can I say, sometimes life is real tough! ;D
Day 7 on a scale of 1-10: Ease of Wear: 9. Personal Excitement Factor: 9.3/4.
Any feedback for today? Do you like the scarf tied in the front too? Are you enjoying the Tribal print trend that is of the moment right now? And most importantly should I sell or keep the Lucky bag?
Inquiring minds want to know!
